    Browns is right outside the jane subway stop, but one word of caution, they are expensive for stringing

    coool.. but..

    i've herad some good things abo8ut yos..and lees. is just too far..
    but browns is within my reach but they string rackets with 2 nots... won't stringing rackets with 2 nots deform your racket?

    that's why i don't go there anymore. because they string two nots not four.

    One piece stringing (2 knots) is common and should not damage your racquet. I use the 2 piece method (4 knots), and I belive most stringer do. Yonex racquets are recommended to be strung using the 2 piece method.

    However, I would caution against stringing at Brown's, they are not very knowledgable about badminton stringing. Enough said.

    BTW, I'm not saying this because I am stringer, I would recommend Yo's first, and even Lee's before Brown's.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: coool.. but..

    Both 2 knots (1 piece of string) and 4 knots (1 piece for main, 1 piece for cross) should be ok for most of rackets. However, I do believe for ISO rackets, seems 4 knots will be more reasonable.

    skill of stringer - not 2 knots versus 4

    I really don't see why 2 knots or 4 knots has much to do with damage or distortion of the racquet head.

    First and foremost, deformity or damage of the head will be at the hands and skill of the stringer. This is assuming that there is no prior fault or damage on the racquet prior to stringing.

    Second, provided a stringer is competent, the stringing machine will determine if it can safely tension the racquet without distortion to the head. Even if the machine is capable, it is up to the experience and skill of the stringer not to screw up mounting and pulling.

    Third is the racquet itself. Most racquets are capable of holding a higher tension, some will not. Some racquets will distort easier than others. These are part of experience of the stringer, and specs of the racquet.

    2 or 4 knots from a economy point of view saves you string length, and time. 4 knots is simpler for most beginners to start with.
